Free Music Review: Sometimes the best presents show up after Christmas!
Hit: 5 Stars
This was the fifth release in the series but the first in the series to feature a whole show. The show was recorded the day after Christmas and surprisingly the band sounds very together for the most part. the first set opens with a kicking Cold, Rain And Snow and is followed by the first officially released C.C. Rider. Dire Wolf is next and sounds fine. The cowboy medley of Me And My Uncle->Big River features some smoking playing and a cool electric piano solo by Brent who'd only been with the band about 8 months at the time. Brown-Eyed Women is good with a driving lead and some great vocals. New Minglewood Blues is good and Phil packs a punch. Friend Of The Devil is dreamy while Looks Like Rain finds Bobby in fine form. The set ends with a blistering Alabama Getaway->Promised Land.
The first Uncle John's Band since 10-6-77 opens the second set but rather than coming to an end, drifts off into a hot Estimated Prophet. Dispite a flub, Estimated Prophet is very strong before running into a mellow He's Gone. The Drums is very good with a lot of pounding on the big ones while space really sounds like something from a Sci-Fi flick. Not Fade Away falls out of Space in fine fasion and is a rock solid version before giving way to the first Brokedown Palace since 10-14-77 Road Trips Volume 1 No. 2 w/ bonus disc. The set ends with two Chuck Berry songs, Around And Around->Johnny B. Goode. The encore is a sleepy Shakedown Street that picks up with Brent's solo. Out of Shakedown, we get the end of Uncle John's Band.
